This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
Or the three people I guilted into reading this blog, whatever.
Growing older is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
I may make you feel, but I can't make you think.

Russell, yours is the first story I've read this morning and I love starting with a laugh. Heck, even your intro was hilarious! "…my mind started racing like a heavily sedated sloth on an exercise wheel." I'm sure that's the funniest thing I'll hear all day. Thank you.–Janhttp://janmorrill.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/flashfriday-fictioneers-mos-shadow/

Oh splendid! In answer to that perennial question, bears obviously do. I just fell about laughing. A variation on the 'I'd leave it a minute or two, if I were you.' Sooo funny.http://castelsarrasin.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/given-a-choice-friday-fictioneers-june-2012/

as ever, your intro had me grinning before I even hit the story, Russell. I'm so glad you haven't run off to join a group with more obviously humourous prompts. I'm over here: http://elmowrites.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/friday-fiction-the-knight-returns/

I think if the prompts were too easy it wouldn't be any fun, and certainly not very challenging. I used to watch Jonathan Winters go into a room of various items, pick one up and start a story, then another with a whole new direction. He's one of my heroes.

Hi Russell, I don't know how I've managed to miss your link in the previous weeks. I really like that you made them all posts on the same page. I just scrolled all the way down chuckling as I went.I love your intros too. You should be standing up. Taking a bow. I'll definitely make sure I find you every week from now on.

Chuckling once again. What would our Fridays be without Russell and his humor and unique take on Madison's prompts. It would be a sad group indeed, should Russell ever decide to leave us Fictioneers for another group.

Fantastic, as always! Loved your intro too. You MUST find Dave Barry's agent and get a book deal. Seriously. I would buy a bunch of them.I hope to get back on board next week. We had another death in our family (makes 5 in 4 years). Unbelievably sad and rather scary.
